The IoCT offers various use cases based on the digital monitoring of the physical world and humans using smart sensors that collect and deliver information. For this paper, we explored different COVID-19 transmission risks in miscellaneous workplace reopening scenarios. “Close contact” with a COVID-19 patient, which mostly occurs indoors, was one of the most common methods of COVID-19 transmission [4,25]. Based on our literature review, COVID-19 “close contact” was defined as contact occurring within a period of time longer than 15 min, and a physical distance of less than 2 metres in cases of face-to-face interaction [25]. When sharing the same space, viruses can spread via air, objects, or floor even after two to three days if protective equipment is not used, or disinfection carried out [4]. A digital timely proximity tracing system can effectively limit the spread of contagious diseases by collecting information about people or places that an individual (with confirmed or suspected infection) may have had close contact with or had been to [14]. If a person with COVID-19 was in close proximity to a place, those affected locations (e.g., businesses, public sites, or buses) would then be considered contaminated places (geospatial features). This geospatial information can be used to help in closing, disinfecting, alerting, and defining appropriate safe paths and neighborhoods. For example, if a location is popular with families or the elderly, additional facilities and organizations in the area may need to be alerted to possible exposure in their neighborhood. Health workers will receive timely and relevant alerts to close off and disinfect the actionable list of contaminated places to prevent further transmission. Moreover, organizations at each location can be provided with forms to send to their staff, customers, or visitors informing them of possible contamination, and requesting that they complete a contact trace survey for health authorities.
